I failed the deadline first time but once you understand how to play it's simple.
The tutorial doesn't help much, the game needs to be taught with an example, most people will probably leave if they actually have to think to understand how to play.
I unlocked the decapod ending.
Very polished, congratulations.

Yeah, you're not wrong, the difficulty level is steep on this one, but it's one of those situations where we could either ship difficult or tone it down greatly and lose a lot of effort, and we decided to finish with what we had. Polish of difficulty and proper tutorials were on top of the list, but as always, time simply ran out xD
